A very happy new year to you all! I hope you celebrated it in style - we sure did! In the lead up to new years, I didn't get too much done on the truck. After installing 3" front suspension, I picked up a cheapo roof cage, and chucked a few work LED lights around the cage to provide some nice...

So I still need to install the steering rack... It's one of those jobs that's really hard to get started on! In the meantime. I have replaced all of my sway bar end links. While I was at it, I decided to install front links in the rear as they are just a little bit longer! I cannot stress...

Thanks mate. So apparently, just like wheel studs, steering racks are bloody difficult to find! I've finally found a new aftermarket rack that I can drop in. However, I've been thinking about it, and figured, it's time to replace the tie rod ends as well, they aren't in need of replacement...

Sorry for a double post in one day... Went off for a wheel alignment today following the install of the 3" fronts... Since I first brought her home, I've had a sneaking suspicion that my steering rack has been due to be rebuilt... Today my suspicions were sadly confirmed.... So, time to...

Who would've thought getting high would be so addictive!? Oh.. right... I have to say, finding parts for the 90 has been a bloody mission. I'm in New Zealand, and I've been using; Trundles automotive - front suspension (great selection for the 90!) The rear shocks were raw 4x4 predators -...

SteveJB - It's actually slightly over 3" in the rear unloaded. After doing a dummy run with my overlanding gear/setup - the back is still sitting ~3 Inches higher than stock :) The airbags are a good idea - however, I do have a bloody stubborn mindset... Higgy - Thanks for your comments! We...

I think you may be right there, Shayne! Unfortunately I'm too lazy to figure out the ideal time to post! So just a teaser update for now... (It's one of those FUN updates we like!) After spending some time (a lot longer than you'll catch me admit to) looking at the truck in different...

Thanks, Shane! MCC Rocker bar SQ So I haven't got too much to update. I finally gave up on my 15" wheels, the thought of running spacers just made me too nervous. So I got a new set of 16x8 -22 (I think!) With 285/75 M/T. Aside from a typical mud terrain hum, I really rate these tires - even...

Hello hello - a few updates as of late...! Dual 12v batterie MCC winch/bull bar UHF radio Winch (to be installed) Life is still relatively locked down, but to make the best of the situation, I finally got to take my truck out for what I've built her for. I ended up doing around 150km of beach...

So our country is still locked down.. it's making life bloody difficult at the best of times. To try and keep myself relatively sane, I have visited most beaches that I'm allowed to drive on.. had a spot of fishing last week I finished installing my rear camera (still need to get onto the...

With great height comes great comfort. Loving the cruiser. One thing I have noticed is, being a little bit taller I have lost a large amount of visibility when reversing so I've decided to put in a reversing camera. Because I like to be difficult, I had the great idea of installing a front...

Got the heart beat going, that's for sure! So, I resigned the installation of the rears to the experts.. fair pricing and I got a set of raw 4x4 predator shocks installed at the same time. They ride incredibly smoothly! Here she is with a 2" lift at the front and 3" at the rear, this is the day...

Hey everyone! I know this isn't a funny picture thread, but I made a boo boo on the weekend and thought you may enjoy a giggle at my expense! I installed my 2" lift in the front no issues at all (was actually surprised with the ease of the front!) and I am quite happy with the extra lift I have...

So... I need some help please ! I have installed a 2 inch lift in the front (so much more straight forward than I expected! ) I was trying to fit the rear springs today and I can't for the life of me get enough clearance to fit the buggers in... Do I need to remove both springs before fitting...

Small update - I shot out to the beach yesterday for a bit of R&R / Mental health break! Originally, I didn't plan on doing much of a lift, I was thinking 1.5" TOPS.. Well, a set of 80 series springs popped up locally for ~$50 (USD) and I suppose I am now doing a 3" lift! Stay tuned

Fbnss, Thanks for your response. Turns out after picking the springs up today, my question was completely irrelevant anyway! I ended up with all four springs ha!

There a pair of REAR 80 series LC springs up for sale locally at $100. I have a kzj95 Prado - will I get any lift from the 80 rear springs? I've searched, and ended up more confused!
